Pike Place Market Scandalous History Tour
Overview
Pike Place Market has had a long and scandalous history that includes brothels, coffee shops, Chief Seattle, and mischievous ghosts. Come join me to hear the market's stories, and explore the market.
Pike Place Market is the heart of Seattle. The market is nine acres packed with local farmers, artists, wineries, buskers, specialty businesses and fish being thrown. I have extensive experience being a market tour guide and I am a retired chef. My goal is to get my guests familiar with the market layout, vendors, foods and history.
